Review Summary

Restaurant Emilia garners mixed feedback, with compliments on bold flavors such as chorizo bowls, piri piri sauce, and spicy hot sauces, as well as on good poutine and attentive service in several reviews. Others note small portions, higher prices, and occasional dryness in chicken or delivery issues such as missing sauce or utensils. Overall, many dishes are described as flavorful and worth trying, while some visits highlight inconsistency and value concerns.

Came for the delicious (chicken & chorizo) poutine. Stayed for the excellent spicy sauce.

I tried their Chorizo bowl(rice + salad) with spicy sauce & it was delicious!! The rice was very flavourful
One of the best meals I had in Montreal. A must try if you're into bowls.

Good first experience, nice food, Portugese beer available (with & without alcohol), had the chicken & chorizo rice bowl with good flavors & nice portion, however it had lots more chorizo & I would have preferred a balanced mix (or more chicken!). Would return, but in Le Central there are so many options that in the future I will explore other foods. Service was difficult due to their cashier system being down, had to pay cash or wait for a fix alongside other customers. Due to this issue, order was not relayed to the kitchen & after a 10-15 minute wait had to ask & then get it prepped, ended up eating after my partner. Le Central atmosphere is crowded, narrow paths, lots of elbow rubbing, but this is part of the experience & even if sometimes difficult to find a table, you go there for all of it. Will return!

We paid more to take out the chicken & shrimp rice bowl, only to find out upon reaching home that we were given the cheaper chorizo instead of shrimp. We were cheated. Chicken was nice.

Sandwich juste ok, demandé piquant mais loin de l'etre. Chorizo popcorn? Des morceaux de saucisses coupées en petits cubes & frits, that's it... décevant. Frites incroyables!
